Board grants rear-yard setback variance for roof over pergola at 4816 Lisa Marine Lane
Summary
The board approved a variance allowing Michelle Jenkins to convert an existing pergola and small deck to a permanent roofed structure, reducing the required 25-ft rear-yard setback by 17 ft (to 8 ft); staff recommended approval conditional on an improvement location permit.
The zoning board approved a rear-yard setback variance for 4816 Lisa Marine Lane that will allow a homeowner to extend a permanent roof over an existing pergola and 6-foot deck.
Michelle Jenkins requested a 17-foot variance from the 25-foot required rear-yard setback so the converted pergola and attached roof will sit 8 feet from the rear property line. Staff explained the property backs onto a non-buildable farm and is screened by a privacy fence and berm, and said the improvement would not injure public health, safety or the general welfare and is consistent with neighborhood character. Staff recommended approval with the condition that an improvement location permit be issued.
No remonstrators appeared. After a motion and second, the board approved the variance.
The approval is conditioned on the issuance of the improvement-location permit and compliance with applicable codes.
